Many of us in the repair industry use Dexcool regularly > in the cars we service with absolutely NO problems. They're easy to find, just google "dex cool problems". Here are a couple: http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/08/gm_dexcool.html http://www.geocities.com/b_gillie/dexcool_problems.html Whether you think these are "solid evidence" is up to you; you are of course free to use ANY coolant you choose in YOUR vehicle; my policy is to use OEM coolant in any vehicle and that's what I do in my cars now. My personal experience is that after switching to Dex-Cool in a '91 Jetta I developed coolant leaks around the temperature sensors and between the cooling hose flange and the head. I'll admit the only evidence I have that this was caused by the Dex-Cool is the timing. Allan |
